AFP – New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said on Friday that he would give “everything” to help take the struggling Premier League giants back to the top of English football. The Portuguese boss, who replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag, arrived at the club’s Carrington training complex on Monday following a 4-2 win at Braga in his final match in charge of Sporting Lisbon. On Friday, United released a video of Amorim’s first interview with the club’s in-house TV channel.
United are 13th in the Premier League table after a poor start to the season but are only four points off the top four. “I will try to do everything to put this club in the place that it belongs,” he said. “And I believe a lot that we are going to succeed.
” Amorim’s first match in charge will be away at struggling Ipswich on November 24, following the international break. United finished eighth in the Premier League last season, their worst league finish since the 1989-90 campaign. “We know that we need time, but we have to win time,” added Amorim.
“To win time is to win games. But the most important thing for me is identity. “Since day one we will start with our identity.
Of course we are going to prepare (for) the games, but we will focus a lot on our game model. How to play, how to press, these small details. “You cannot go 100 per cent on every detail because it will be confusing for the players.
So if I have to say one thing, my main goal, my first goal, is identity.” Amorim led Sporting to their first Portuguese league title in 19 years in 2021, before regaining the trophy last season..
